What’s the deal with Clay, his family, and his rule? This is a standalone so it’s not like there’s a second book that will give us all these answers. It’s annoying to have so many unfinished bits missing from a book. But, there was also a lot that I disliked. I have nothing against a pregnancy plot line, but the way it was done here was unpleasant, AND unrealistic. Nikki told us this was🥵Age-gap taboo, we have our 😇Sweet heroine Fawn and our 😈Mafia Don Clay Butcher, there is unlimited 🔥Steam, 😇 Praise kink, 😈You are my property vibes and finally romance. Don't be fooled though this is dark (please heed the trigger warnings) and it wouldn't be mafia without 🩸Gore and violence. I told you that if you didn’t like something, to use your voice. You did. And you were right. I don’t know who I am outside of this business. I’ve spent my whole life on one path, with one destination. I have known exactly what to do and where to be. I knew every turn.” His brilliant blue gaze softens, and I see him... I see Clay. “Fawn. Why you? Because when I’m with you, my sweet girl, I’m lost. And I quite enjoy that.”What’s bizarre is that Fern never considers an abortion. She doesn’t have to choose that, obviously. But it doesn’t feel believable that she’s not at least THINK about her options – even if she’d conclude that she’s choosing to have the baby. There’s a hole in the center of this story where there SHOULD be her having feelings about carrying a baby that resulted from rape. Any normal person would feel some kind of way about it! So, the absence of that is glaring, and weird, and it makes Fern feel less like a real person. The heroine, Fern is 18, grew up in the foster system, and she goes to Clay’s house for help with her pregnancy situation, since she thinks her long lost dad is there. He’s not, and little does Fern know that Clay is pretending to be generous and have her stay with him while he “looks for” her dad, but he’s REALLY planning to use her and her unborn son to lure out her dad to kill him. (The reason relates to events from earlier books…so this would be confusing if you read it as a standalone!) Clay and Fawn have an insane connection, and I loved their dynamic. Clay is definitely a dominant alpha, and Fawn is a natural submissive. Clay was so freaking hot, and he spoiled Fawn in the sweetest way. He is extremely possessive and has major "touch her and you die" vibes. The sex scenes were so hot, and I loved the way Clay praised her. Triggers: hero is married (no sexual relations though), pregnancy, miscarriage, torture, murder, detailed rape, drug use, PTSD, and a detailed BJ scene with OW before they get together.
When she first meets Clay, she was captivated and compelled to do everything he said. His magnetic personality, charming looks and powerful stature command people to listen. So, slowly they get used to living together and slowly start to trust each other. They get into a sexual relationship and it's FIREEEEE. Nearly burned my kindle up! he feels very predatory in the way that he seemingly never asks for consent when engaging in sexual acts (which seem to me to be very rough) (EVEN IMMEDIATELY AFTER HE SEES THE TAPE OF HER VERY BRUTAL RAPE) A rough groan escapes me as I sink into her, and she arches and curves her spine on a cry, taking me to my balls like the good girl I know she is for me. A young girl I should have never touched, but even God wouldn't dare take her from me now.if you did enjoy this book, good for you, i’m not here to take away from your experience with this book
Author notes: His Pretty Little Burden is part of The Kids of The District series but can be enjoyed without the previous books, although it follows a greater narrative and is the first book in a duet. It features a powerful Mafia Don and his endearing tortured heroine. His Pretty Little Burden has an age gap dynamic that some people may find uncomfortable. It is an epic romance story, with spice, and dark themes. Enjoy. The push and pull of Clay and Fawn was INCREDIBLE. The fact that the overaching storyline that runs through the kids of the district series gets taken up a notch is something magnificent. i normally love a dark romance novel containing taboo subjects (really, it’s often what i look for often in a book) but i don’t know exactly yet what it is about this one that made me feel super uneasy (well actually i do know, but it seems that i’m so frustrated with this book that i can’t properly articulate it) Blinded by the pain, I squeeze my eyes shut, panting, and howling through the agony, the immense pressure. My hands fist. My nails stab my palms. And I can’t control the tightening of my muscles. Clay pries my fingers apart, placing his arm into my grasp, so I can shred his skin instead. Watching their love unfold and grow was absolutely everything. Clay has the dichotomy that I love in a made man: tough with the world, tender with his woman. Their journey to happily ever after has already been bumpy and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for them in His Pretty Little Queen.he groans, in a way that seems to stifle a powerful, primal urge, "Hurt to be anywhere near you, sweet girl, and not be inside you." He and Aurora (his wife) are married for business, she is a lesbian. And the relationship between this duo is amazing. Because of the circumstances they were always in bedroom, and can’t deny there is so many sex scene but if I ever complain about it… Every scene, every touch, every glace tells so much more than a word can.
What follows is the unexpected and inexplicably beautiful relationship that develops between the Mayor and his little deer.

That being said, it's a dark age gap romance so it wasn't all that uncomfortable and still a pretty enjoyable read. The writing style flowed well with me. I genuinely loved the dialogues and even the inner monologues. The author has also managed to hook me on to the story from the first chapter. I think I would have got a few more references and understood the depth of a few more characters if I read the previous books but despite not reading them the story wasn't unnecessarily complicated or painfully dull. I was enjoying both the h and H's love story and what actually happened with the h. I also really hated Jasmine, and quite frankly did not understand the purpose of her character, her lies, or their subsequent makeup. It was useless to the plot. it’s almost most definitely NOT a stand-alone and unless you have read the other books in the series you will not know what’s going on for most of the time The thing is,,, Fawn is a mentally abused girl (and physically that she’s not aware), hungry for love n' attention, a people pleaser and has lots of issues… I’m dying to read them out of bedroom. The times when they call each other by their own names r limited. The epilogue novella for the whole series “His Perfect Little Heirs” announced that will be out next year, I can’t wait to read it, especially for Clay & Fawn but also the others.
Great Deal
